LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament has resolved to extend its work by one month to allow engagement with stakeholders who were not initially consulted in the Amaryllis Hotel inquiry.
The committee is investigating the Public Service Pension Trust Fund’s MK128.7 billion acquisition of the Amaryllis Hotel.
On Tuesday, the government side said it would not allow the committee to present its report without first summoning former Secretary to the President and Cabinet Colleen Zamba, along with officials from Yusuf Investment.
PAC Chairperson Steven Malondera said there has been a lot of background noise surrounding the matter and indicated he had been advised not to comment further.
He maintained that the committee acted within its mandate and did not misbehave.
He said the committee expects to complete its work after the additional month, describing proposals to form an ad hoc committee to continue the inquiry as unfair.
